Legend of Zelda 25th Anniversary Symphony” held in London in 2011, the
producers of the show are proud to present “The Legend of Zelda:
Symphony of the Goddesses” tour. The acclaimed concert experience, which
has already captured the hearts of thousands of Zelda fans and music
enthusiasts in North America, will make its highly anticipated European
debut at the Hammersmith Apollo on May 23. Performed by the the Royal
Philharmonic Orchestra and Choir, fans will journey back to Hyrule and

time, the tour—which has been hailed as a modern classic—features live
orchestral performances of theme music from Nintendo's The Legend of

the classic storylines from The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time,
The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker, The Legend of Zelda: Twilight
Princess, and The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past. The performance also will highlight orchestral renditions of music from other series games, including The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening and The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask.
Eímear Noone will conduct the full orchestra with arrangements by music
director Chad Seiter, the evening hosted by concert producer and lead
creative Jeron Moore.

“The response in 2011 for “The Legend of Zelda 25th
Anniversary Symphony” was unparalleled, so it’s exciting to return with a
brand new experience for both loyal and new fans,” notes Jason Michael
Paul, CEO of Jason Michael Paul Productions, which is producing the
concert tour. “This concert program is an extraordinary glimpse into the
spellbinding world of Zelda through the lens of world-class orchestral
music. We are honored to bring this unique experience to this great
city,” adds Paul.

Guests will relish in their favorite moments from the game, carefully
and beautifully timed with a gorgeous orchestral score approved by
Nintendo sound director and Zelda franchise composer, Koji Kondo. The
concert is a festive experience for all walks of fans, some of which
have been known to attend donning green tunics while wielding legendary
master swords. Cosplay encouraged!
